Court places injunction on district level election in Duta Electoral Area
The High Court in Ho has issued an injunction against the Electoral Commission(EC) to halt the District Level Elections in the Duta Electoral Area in the Ketu South district of the Volta Region.
The order shall be valid for ten days.
The court presided over by His Lordship Yaw Owoahene-Acheampong, granted the Motion Exparte after five persons filed a Motion Exparte for an interim injunction to restrain the EC from having anything to do with the conduct of the elections in the area.
In a notice to the 24 aspirants and all registered voters in the Duta Electoral Area, the petitioners, led by Kosi Dzordzinawo Baragbor, did not state their specific reasons for seeking the injunction.
They, however, insisted that is in the interest of the sovereignty of Ghana, the integrity and sanctity of public elections in Ghana and the collective interest of the area.
The notice served stated that “there will be NO Assembly member and Unit Committee member elections in the Duta Electoral Area on Tuesday 19th day of December 2023”.
“We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please bear with us,” they said.
